Qiao Xuan felt a bit guilty.
She believed that it was because of Shao Yunduan’s rich knowledge that he could forecast the weather, but he was just wondering how she could tell the change of weather at the moment.
He could not have remembered that there was no heavy cloud in the sky, all this while, right?
Sure enough, Shao Yunduan did not remember, nor did he think of it deeply. He smiled. “Oh that is right, you are a very careful person!”
Qiao Xuan laughed. Of course, she was.
But it reminded her of one thing. She should be careful when using the superpower, and could just put it at bay, when she did not have to use it.
Once or twice would be enough, too many times might cause suspicion, and lead to nothing good.
The rain was pouring, and soon the drapery of clouds covered the whole sky.
The couple were waiting, without knowing what to do.
The rain came too fast, but it left fast too. Soon it would stop.
But before the rain ended, two unexpected guests, namely Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong arrived there.
The two of them were soaked thoroughly. Their hair and clothes were all wet.
They were in a total mess.
The four of them got startled as they ran into each other again.
Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Young Master Xie, Second Miss, we are bound together, aren’t we?”
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. “…”
The two of them exchanged some greetings, and Shao Yunduan added. “Just tidy up and don’t get cold!”
Qiao Xuan even asked the mistress of the house to boil a bowl of hot ginger soup.
Yuezheng Xiao wiped away his face and smiled. “It is fine, our servants are fetching the clean clothes. They will be here soon.”
Their wagon was parked outside the village, which was a bit far away from here.
The road wasn’t flat, and the rain was so heavy. These two young masters had never been through any bitterness, so they had no choice but to find a house to take shelter whilst their servants went to get the wagon.
Yuezheng Xiao sighed regretfully. “We should have listened to your advice and followed you downhill. It is raining! But Second Miss, how did you know that it was going to rain soon? It was so sunny just a while ago!”
Yuezheng Xiao’s eyes widened. He was really curious!
He had found Qiao Xuan’s words ridiculous, when he saw the good weather. He had thought that Qiao Xuan and her husband must be thinking of an excuse to stay away from them. However, she had been telling the truth…
Qiao Xuan lied as she smiled. “I saw heavy clouds in the sky!”
Xie Jingrong looked at her. “But there did not seem to be heavy clouds in the sky!”
He used the word ‘seem’, but he sounded resolute.
Qiao Xuan was startled, so was Yuezheng Xiao.
Shao Yunduan wasn’t happy at the moment. His wife never lied.
And why did she have to lie anyway?
Young Master Xie was so arrogant!
Shao Yunduan added without hesitation. “There were dark clouds in the sky.”
Qiao Xuan nodded and sounded innocent. “There were!”
Xie Jingrong raised his eyebrows.
He had always had a good memory and could never forget things after one glance. He remembered clearly that there was no heavy cloud in the sky, but… could he have been wrong?
Seeing the resolute look on the couple, Xie Jingrong could not help but feel unsure.
